• 0:41
  Speaker 2: show with Patch Bachelor alums, and they're going to be
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: renovating the Bachelor Mansion.
• 0:48
  Speaker 1: Guy, obviously, the Bachelor Mansion is getting renovated. It just
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: was announced by HGTV. So we're talking a little bit
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: about the Bachelor Mansion today with a few guests who.
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: Have lived there.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: Okay, Guy, we just got done talking to Rachel Rekia
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: and we were talking about how people work out at
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: the mansion. I'm assuming you did. You look like you
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: did at least, and so if you didn't get on you,
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: if you did work out the mansion, how did you
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: do it?
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know what they did was on the well,
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: let's see if you were in the back, the back
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: of the area pool area to the left, and then
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: kind of on the side. They they were kind enough
• 1:32
  Speaker 4: to to get like a couple of yoga mats, some dumbbells. Actually,
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: Pascal actually had them order dumb bells and had them
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: delivered to the mansion. So we had some dumb bells
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: to use. Uh, some stretch bands they had there and
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: uh at a bench, and so you know, that's that's
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: where we worked out, and and.
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: You know, everybody was different.
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I would work out every morning, uh, depending on how
• 2:06
  Speaker 4: much time we had, depending on what was going on
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: that day. Sometimes I'd be over there for thirty minutes.
• 2:13
  Speaker 4: Sometimes I'd be over there for two hours. And then
• 2:16
  Speaker 4: the pool was almost a uh a little bath pool.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: It was twenty two feet long, so it was just
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: a you know a few feet short of a pool
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: you would swim in, you know, in competition. And I
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: had brought my goggles and my hat and I would
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: then get in the pool and I'd swim anywhere from
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: thirty minutes to an hour and a half sometimes.
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: And I just do laps back and forth. So that
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: was that was my routine.
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: A lot of the other guys would come over to obviously,
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: you know there's you know, not everybody, you know, uh
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: did that, but a lot of them did. And they'd
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: come over and you know, lift you know, we talk.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: And while we were working out in one.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: I found that the water was always too cold for
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: me to go into.
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: You know, I'm a water woss.
• 3:09
  Speaker 2: Also, okay, I'm the ultimate water woos never heard that before.
• 3:13
  Speaker 2: But if the temperature is below eighty two, I find
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: it hard to get into.
• 3:18
  Speaker 4: And it was below eighty two degree, it was it
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: seemed to warm up a little bit, and I typically
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: didn't get in the pool early early.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: I would go in at eight o'clock in the morning.
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: I usually wait till it, you know, warmed up a
• 3:32
  Speaker 4: little bit outside and then I just I just bit
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: the bully and I just dove in, even though I
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: hate it.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: Guy or you know, we're talking about the mansion. As
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: you think about if you give us like a few
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: seconds explanation of what it's like to have the Goldens
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: living in the mansion at the same time, we know
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: what it's like from the Bachelor and Bachelor that world,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: But what is it like to have because I'm gonna
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: give some stereotypes out there, some people that are pretty
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: stuck in their ways, some people who have probably lived alone.
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: In most of the guys on the show, it seems
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: like or girls have are pretty well off. So they've
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: built this very comfortable setting for them at home. They
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: have their nutrition, they have their food, they have their
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: comfy beds, they don't have to sleep next to a
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: guy who's snoring. So give us an explanation of what
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: life looks like behind the scenes.
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, to start with that, I think the
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: thing that struck me first was that that. And I
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: was in the middle bedroom. So there was five of
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: us in this bedroom with two bunk beds in a
• 4:40
  Speaker 4: single bed and I was lucky enough to get the
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: single bed because I was the oldest of the group.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: That's how we decided how to do it. It was small,
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: and then the bathroom was itty bitty. I mean there
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: was not you know, you couldn't put two people in there.
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: Only wait, two people was won in a shower and
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: wanted to sink and that was it. So so it
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: was very very tight quarters, you know with that, So
• 5:09
  Speaker 4: that was different. And then you've heard the stories about
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: the snoring and stuff, and that was everybody dealt with
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: that a different way. I had my airplugs right from
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: the beginning, so I was I was prepared for that
• 5:21
  Speaker 4: so far as uh, you know what I was really
• 5:25
  Speaker 4: surprised about was I thought, I thought, oh, they're going
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: to treat us like you know, like you know, kings,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: and uh, we're gonna every morning, we're going to get
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: up and somebody will have made us break you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: some kind of breakfast, you know, meal, and then the
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: same thing for lunch, and the same thing for dinner.
• 5:41
  Speaker 5: Little and I know we're gonna have to do all
• 5:43
  Speaker 5: this ourselves.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: And so some of us, like myself, doesn't do a
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: lot of cooking unless you unless you consider opening a
• 5:54
  Speaker 4: can up cooking.
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: So it was it was a little bit.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Yea, it was different for me, but you know, everybody,
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: everybody jumped in because we had several of the guys
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: who were very very very good cooks, and then uh,
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: some of the handlers would would cook in the in
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: the morning and stuff like.
• 6:12
  Speaker 5: That, and you know, I couldn't.
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: I really couldn't help that way at the level that
• 6:19
  Speaker 4: they were cooking. But I know how, I know, wash
• 6:22
  Speaker 4: and dry dishes.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: Oh that's nice, that's very that's very great way to contribute.
• 6:28
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and it allowed me time while the other guys
• 6:31
  Speaker 4: were doing things to to you know, to be involved
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: and communicate, not.
• 6:34
  Speaker 5: Just sit by the pool the whole time.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Oh good Now, guy, it's a competition show that
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: they're about to do on AHGTV. What do you think
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: the competitors can add to the mansion to help them win?
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: Gosh, that would be uh. I mean, it depends on
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: how they how much renovation you know, they want to do,
• 6:55
  Speaker 4: if they're going to knock down walls or whether they're
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: just going to just try to fit it up. I
• 7:04
  Speaker 4: I clearly think there should be you know, I think
• 7:07
  Speaker 4: if they didn't have to use all the bedrooms downstairs,
• 7:09
  Speaker 4: I think it would have been really comfortable because we
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: would have had like two maybe three people in a
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: room instead of like one room had nine, we had five,
• 7:19
  Speaker 4: another had four, But multiple bedrooms downstairs had to.
• 7:23
  Speaker 5: Be lives for the video.
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: The audio interview rooms things like that. So and there
• 7:32
  Speaker 4: must have been at least four of those downstairs, so,
• 7:36
  Speaker 4: you know.
• 7:36
  Speaker 5: More bedrooms.
• 7:39
  Speaker 4: Probably if they could, you know, they could make them
• 7:42
  Speaker 4: all single beds that were you know, that were not
• 7:47
  Speaker 4: bunk beds, because there was a few of the guys
• 7:52
  Speaker 4: had a little trouble getting up to the top bunk beds.
• 7:54
  Speaker 5: Sometimes.
• 7:56
  Speaker 6: I loved my bunk bed.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: My bunk bed was where I got Pacy in a
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: private moment and I could journal or I could just hide.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: That's interesting, Yeah, because I was I was a huge
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: journal I journaled over a book and a half while
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: I was there, and I still have it and I
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: go back and actually I only looked at it one
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: time briefly. But it's something I wanted to do. It's
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: part of my therapy.
• 8:21
  Speaker 1: Actually, yeah, I still have mine as well. Hey guy,
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: thanks for jumping on today. We're talking about the Bachelor
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: Mansion with some of past favorites, so we appreciate you
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: coming on.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: Absolutely everyone, welcome, Dot and Charity to the show. Can
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: I just say that your recent posts on Instagram so cute,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: so sexy. You guys are such a hot period.

  Speaker 2: Wow, they're young and hot.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Off the gate warm up?
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: Okay, all right. I thought it's a little bit like
• 9:11
  Speaker 8: here's what I get a top?
• 9:12
  Speaker 4: Now?
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Just right?
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys are hot and sexy. That's how we
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: start the show. Hey, we're here today just for a
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: few minutes to talk to you guys about the Bachelor Mansion.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Because if you don't know, HGTV has announced that they're
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: renovating the Bachelor Mansion and they're using past contestants to
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: do the renovation. So the first is, have you two
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: gotten a phone call to be a part of this show?
• 9:35
  Speaker 7: Not yet, but listen, you've got the digits, That's what
• 9:41
  Speaker 7: I'm saying.
• 9:41
  Speaker 1: I'm like, I would really this sounds like a lot of.
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: I love that.
• 9:45
  Speaker 8: I love the concept of this.
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: It's crazy. What's the purpose?
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: Like once I think just clean it up.
• 9:51
  Speaker 9: Yeah, it's random, like a bunch of different Bachelor ideas,
• 9:55
  Speaker 9: build a house, and then what I thought it was.
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: No, it's the actual mansion. It's like they're literally going
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: to work inside the mansion. They get to come up
• 10:03
  Speaker 1: with all these design ideas and then there's a cash prize.
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: It's it's a crazy idea. I like the idea of
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: the show. I'll watch the show because the mansion is
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: like one of the most favorable moments from the whole experience.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: For me, it's like a home. It's truly a second home.
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: It actually for you, Charity, you know, you lived in
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: it twice. Yeah, So off the top of your head,
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: what do you see that they should renovate?
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: Oh?
• 10:30
  Speaker 6: Do they tackle first? I mean, I this.
• 10:34
  Speaker 7: Is like pretty basic, but I hate like the wallpaper
• 10:36
  Speaker 7: and everything. And I don't know if it changes because
• 10:38
  Speaker 7: of like production or if it's like that, like you know,
• 10:41
  Speaker 7: when we're not filming there. But I think the color scheme,
• 10:45
  Speaker 7: like everything needs to like start over. It's horrible in
• 10:49
  Speaker 7: my opinion, doesn't.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: Like she doesn't like the Mediterranean.
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: So the color scheme is interesting because I think one
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: secret that a lot of people out there don't know
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: is every season they come in repaint and redecorate. So
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: every season there they and then they'll paint it back
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: to what the homeowners want afterwards. So you got to think,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: after how many seasons that have been filmed in that show,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: how thick the walls have to be with that sounds
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: like it's yeah, yeah, the square footage of the house
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: has shrunk because the walls are like this.
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: Volume.
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot less. Now I have a huge question
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: because we've talked to Rachel Recky, we talked to Guy
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: here recently. They both brought up the bunk beds. Don
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: you're not a short man. I need to know what
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: they did for you, because you have to be probably
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: the tallest contestant to ever be on the show. I
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: don't I can't think of anybody taller. I really don't
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: understand how you slept in that house.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Neither your feet hung off like I feel like your
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: ankles hung off.
• 11:56
  Speaker 9: Correct. That's why it's still an ongoing lawsuit going a
• 12:03
  Speaker 9: lot of suit because of what they put me through.
• 12:04
  Speaker 9: It's crazy that was It's not a secret, so like
• 12:08
  Speaker 9: that's not when I wanted to share. But it's what
• 12:09
  Speaker 9: stick outs sticks out to me the most, and my
• 12:11
  Speaker 9: experience there is first of all, how small they are,
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: They're tiny bunk beds that I slept in when I
• 12:15
  Speaker 9: was like six, And how uncorable they are. They have
• 12:19
  Speaker 9: like plastic things on top. They go it's the easiest thing,
• 12:23
  Speaker 9: and you know they can do better, but for some reason,
• 12:25
  Speaker 9: that's what they choose, and put four or ten guys
• 12:27
  Speaker 9: in a room together. Not fun, especially when you have
• 12:30
  Speaker 9: you know, brain snoring and Josh or sound machine going.
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: And it's just lost. L's on all eggs as well.
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: And you're right, they did have I forgot they had
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: those plastic coverings and so if anybody rolled over in
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the room you were in, you could hear them roll over.
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: Today, anyone fell out of bed while either of you
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: were filming.
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: I think I don't know, not for not in my room.
• 12:52
  Speaker 7: I was lucky to be in the room with like
• 12:54
  Speaker 7: where it was smaller, but there was like less girls,
• 12:56
  Speaker 7: so it was only like four of us.
• 13:00
  Speaker 6: We left the mansion.
• 13:01
  Speaker 7: All my roommates had Artie said goodbye, So I had you.
• 13:04
  Speaker 6: Had a room to yourself.
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: Very nice.
• 13:09
  Speaker 7: Yeah that's nice though, Yeah, I don't think so for me.
• 13:13
  Speaker 3: But I think I'm trying to remember. I know someone did,
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: and I'm trying to remember someone did.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to remember the story too. I don't know
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: what season it was, but it was a thing. Yes,
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: the guys were cracking up.
• 13:23
  Speaker 6: It was a guy season.
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: Of course. That's hilarious. That's all you can hope for.
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Truly, in the middle of the night, a gigantic thought
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: like down the very high bunk beds.
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, exactly, No, I need I need to text
• 13:37
  Speaker 9: the guys and see who that happened to, because I'm
• 13:39
  Speaker 9: pretty sure that happened is one on our season.
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: I'm just not room or not.
• 13:43
  Speaker 1: But now I think this is for anybody out there.
• 13:46
  Speaker 1: I remember in my experience, I had to bed the
• 13:48
  Speaker 1: bedroom up against the wall right across from the small bathroom.
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: There was a lot of us in there. At one point,
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: I think there was three different bunk beds. So eight
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: people are people in a small little room. And I
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: remember one of my I'm an only child at that
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: point in my life, I was living alone. What'd you say,
• 14:10
  Speaker 1: of course.
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: This kid actually Ben doesn't meet any of the only
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: child Yeah that no, I know.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: Break on the earth.
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah all right, But the I remember the guys would
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: come in like late, right, so I'm early to bed guy,
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: and they would want to do like pillow talk, and
• 14:30
  Speaker 1: they'd be talking about like the randomest stuff. Sometimes Caitlin
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: sometimes like some due to be crying because he's sad
• 14:37
  Speaker 1: and he's emotional or whatever, and it would go on
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: for way too long and there's no cameras up there,
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: so it was a pretty safe place to like talk,
• 14:45
  Speaker 1: but it would keep me up way later than I
• 14:47
  Speaker 1: wanted to be. Do you guys remember pillow talk happening
• 14:50
  Speaker 1: as like twenty seven eight year old people see, like.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: I don't you do the guys, Yeah, of course.
• 14:58
  Speaker 6: Yes to some degree.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: But I'm like, I I feel like they never let
• 15:01
  Speaker 7: us like sleep, and so by the time we actually
• 15:03
  Speaker 7: were like going to bed, it was like okay, like
• 15:06
  Speaker 7: literally like lights out, like everyone shut up, like seriously, Yeah,
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: we did have like not in our rooms like everything,
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: like all of our convers I mean literally I probably
• 15:15
  Speaker 7: had maybe one conversation that was in my room and
• 15:18
  Speaker 7: there was like no cameras. But then they like came
• 15:20
  Speaker 7: and found me like thirty seconds later, and I was like, okay,
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: so like that did not exist for me at all.
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't really remember that existing either, but this

• 16:35
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I remember that.
• 16:37

• 16:40
  Speaker 2: stood out.
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: See, very pretty curly eyelashes.
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: It's hilarious.
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: I just thought about this.
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: That's probably Sawn and Braiden bringing there.
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: Like remember that other dice.
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: Like I'm joking, but I feel like Sean had like
• 16:54
  Speaker 7: a blow dryer.
• 16:57
  Speaker 6: His hair, Like, oh, I can imagine that.
• 17:00
  Speaker 9: Sean actually didn't have a blow dry That was actually
• 17:02
  Speaker 9: a big part of big issue in the house he
• 17:07
  Speaker 9: was so embarrassed before every day because he was like,
• 17:09
  Speaker 9: he's so self conscious about his hair, and it's so hilarious.
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: That was actually opposite what happened.
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: Amongst all you guys didn't have one hair dryer.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: Yes it was I'm telling you.
• 17:21
  Speaker 9: There were things that were happening that I couldn't believe.
• 17:25
  Speaker 9: I didn't need one, thankfully, but a few of the
• 17:27
  Speaker 9: guys did not a single hair drive. They had to
• 17:29
  Speaker 9: get one on like day three, so one had to
• 17:31
  Speaker 9: go buy one. How the hell did you not a
• 17:33
  Speaker 9: single one in there?
• 17:34
  Speaker 8: It's crazy.
• 17:35
  Speaker 6: That is crazy, And I.
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: Think Sean had to buy it.
• 17:40
  Speaker 6: With his own money.
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: They were like, yeah, we have like a fifty dollars
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: cap on this.
• 17:45
  Speaker 5: You put blow the grocery literally for real, it was.
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: It literally was on the grocery.
• 17:51
  Speaker 1: But I'm even thinking back, I feel like when I
• 18:04
  Speaker 1: was on the Bachelore appe, it was March. Is that
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: March madness that's going on at that point? Yeah, And
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: we did a we did brackets, but we can't watch
• 18:14
  Speaker 1: the games. There's no TVs. And so at the end
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: of the day they would give us a score update
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: of who won and who lost, and we could fill
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: out a bracket based on that. It's such a fun
• 18:25
  Speaker 1: time now as we close with you guys, as you
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: think about your favorite memories at the Bachelor Mansion, like
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: the one thing when you think about that place and
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: who knows how much it's going to be renovated. We
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: don't know if the whole thing's going to change, if
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: it's going to be modernized, if they're just gonna paint
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: up some stuff or whatever. But let's say the mansion
• 18:44
  Speaker 1: changes forever. It never looks the same as when we
• 18:47
  Speaker 1: were there. What's your favorite memory at the mansion?
• 18:50
  Speaker 7: I think for me would have to be like, obviously
• 18:52
  Speaker 7: there's so many like girl chats, but like my chats,
• 18:55
  Speaker 7: I feel like I had the most meaningful ones by
• 18:58
  Speaker 7: the pool or like outside, and I feel like the
• 19:00
  Speaker 7: pool is obviously like one of the highlights of the house,
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: and so I would be like kind of devastated if
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: they like completely, I mean, they can't take away the pool,
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: but like just making it look different.
• 19:09
  Speaker 6: I feel like it's such.
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: A memorable part of the house, like when you walk
• 19:13
  Speaker 7: in and obviously, like you know, night one, you're like outside,
• 19:17
  Speaker 7: you're going to the bar, You're seeing who else is arriving.
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: It's just like so ingrained in your memory.
• 19:21
  Speaker 7: So like that's like for me, I feel like one
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: of the best parts.
• 19:25
  Speaker 9: Yeah answer, yeah, So they had the question is what's
• 19:30
  Speaker 9: going to be here? Nonetheless the question is favorite memory
• 19:33
  Speaker 9: or what we don't want to renovated?
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: Well, I guess favorite, Wow, all the time together. Sorry
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: I didn't give a memory.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: I just said, but I don't memory.
• 19:45
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean one of my favorite memories. Not to
• 19:48
  Speaker 9: steal yours, but was I was really quiet for like
• 19:51
  Speaker 9: the first week because I was hating my life and
• 19:53
  Speaker 9: I thought I made the worst decision of my life.
• 19:57
  Speaker 9: And then there's this time all the guys with the
• 19:59
  Speaker 9: pool super late, and then I decided to hop in
• 20:01
  Speaker 9: and that was the first time I really expressed myself.
• 20:03
  Speaker 9: And that's because those guys in there were all expressed themselves.
• 20:06
  Speaker 9: Was like Kayla, Barron Tanner and maybe one other person
• 20:11
  Speaker 9: that was in there, but they just.
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: Allowed me to open up.
• 20:13
  Speaker 9: And that was sort of really like the first step
• 20:16
  Speaker 9: to maybe, okay, maybe this is okay right, Maybe I didn't,
• 20:19
  Speaker 9: you know, sacrifice everything for nothing. So yeah, pretty cool,
• 20:23
  Speaker 9: I would say. Also, obviously he's getting a chat with
• 20:25
  Speaker 9: her at the barbecue. That was the actual catalyst that
• 20:29
  Speaker 9: really changed and I was like, okay, like yeah, I
• 20:32
  Speaker 9: can stick around.
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: I think there's something worth fighting for here. So that
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: was really beautiful.
• 20:37
  Speaker 9: And then maybe something inside the house is the hot
• 20:40
  Speaker 9: waters and the conditioner did not work while we were there.
• 20:44
  Speaker 9: We actually had to go to the hotel. People have
• 20:46
  Speaker 9: no idea how old that that house is, and like,
• 20:50
  Speaker 9: I'm spectacular it is. It's like legendary, but there's really
• 20:56
  Speaker 9: I don't think it's that old.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: I think it's probably in its twenty.
• 21:00
  Speaker 1: I have the same don't You're not alone. I told
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: actually the same thing when we started. I was like,
• 21:04
  Speaker 1: you you understand how old this house is, like how
• 21:06
  Speaker 1: beat up it is?
• 21:08
  Speaker 9: Yes?
• 21:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, And Ashley's like, no, it's perfect.
• 21:13
  Speaker 2: This wasn't the Bachelor mansion that they used like the
• 21:15
  Speaker 2: first decade of the show though, And I don't think
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: that they built it until like two thousand.
• 21:20
  Speaker 6: We will have to check on the building. Curious to
• 21:24
  Speaker 6: know that.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: But think about how much use the house has had
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: because the family had four kids and they grew up
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: in the house from when they were very little.
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: And then don't have to protect the mansion people like
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: the mansion.
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: I love the mansion.
• 21:37
  Speaker 9: Okay you under yeahby late night.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: You wait, okay, go back to Don's saying you had
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: to go to a hotel to shower.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: We all did for a couple of days. Yeah, it
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: was hellish.
• 21:54
  Speaker 9: We'd all have to go, but you'd have take turns,
• 21:56
  Speaker 9: you know, take turns in little what do you call
• 22:00
  Speaker 9: a little like bunches, and then go to the hotel
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: that we stayed in before to go shower, and then.
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: You have to luxury.
• 22:07
  Speaker 6: Yeah, the mansion reminds me of my parents' house.
• 22:11
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 22:13
  Speaker 6: Do you understand that, Ben, I do.
• 22:17
  Speaker 3: You're not talking about you.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, but that's why I probably feel so
• 22:22
  Speaker 2: connected to the style.
• 22:23
  Speaker 1: Actually, your parents' house is beautiful. We don't want to
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: change it's.
• 22:26
  Speaker 6: Not okay, it's yeah.
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: I just need to add what I cannot have changed.
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: It's the front because when you pull up in the
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: limo and you see the iconic front with the fountain
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: and the door.
• 22:42
  Speaker 3: No, no, no, that actually probably is the best part.
• 22:44
  Speaker 9: You know, it's the most memorable whole see on TV,
• 22:47
  Speaker 9: the part that we remember because that's our first interaction, not.
• 22:50
  Speaker 7: Me saying the pool, I should have set the front door.
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: Yeah, hey, thanks for jumping on you talking about the mansion,
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: your memories. Uh, we appreciate your time. I will still
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: go down and say, like, one of the most shocking
• 23:03
  Speaker 1: parts of this whole experience is thinking about you sleeping
• 23:06
  Speaker 1: in a bunk bed twin mattress that isn't really a
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: full twin. It still shocks me and it's not right.
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: So good luck in the lawsuit, and we appreciate you
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: coming on.
• 23:18
  Speaker 6: Bye.
• 23:20
  Speaker 2: Ye it was you know how in college you have
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: the long twin beds. They're different style twin beds than
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: not you have the little kid twin bed There's they're long.
• 23:30
  Speaker 6: Do you remember in college?
• 23:31
  Speaker 8: Yeah?
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: These were not long, No exactly, they were sure. I
• 23:35
  Speaker 1: actually have a memory that came off of what Charity
• 23:38
  Speaker 1: was saying. I remember falling asleep so deeply out by
• 23:40
  Speaker 1: the pool one day in one of those like really
• 23:42
  Speaker 1: beautiful like pieces of lawn furniture they had, and sleeping
• 23:47
  Speaker 1: hard because I was tired and waking up and looking
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: around and like having this like I don't know where
• 23:52
  Speaker 1: I'm at moment, and then realizing I was on like
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: at the mansion, and I'm being like.
• 23:56
  Speaker 6: Whoa like, what's hilarious?
• 23:59
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm talking When you wake up and
• 24:00
  Speaker 1: you're like, I don't know how I got here, and
• 24:02
  Speaker 1: then you're like it takes you a second. You're like,
• 24:04
  Speaker 1: I'm there's a nap thing.
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that doesn't that doesn't happen in the mornings. That
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: happens during naps.
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: Yes, it happened to me, I remember, and then kind
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: of like smiling and being like, oh, that's pretty cool,
• 24:14
  Speaker 1: pretty cool. I just think a nap of the Bachelor.
• 24:17
  Speaker 6: Mansion, that's awesome.
• 24:20
  Speaker 1: This has been the second part of our conversation on
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: the renovation that HGTV has announced that they're going to
• 24:27
  Speaker 1: be doing to the Bachelor Mansion. We've brought back some
• 24:30
  Speaker 1: past contestants to talk about their stories, experiences, what they
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: love and don't love about the mansion. This has been
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: a ton of fun reminiscing. I would say this, and
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: I think Ashley has proven it actually, out of all
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: the things that happened from your time on the Bachelor,
• 24:49
  Speaker 1: I would say, this mansion holds maybe the most special
• 24:52
  Speaker 1: place in your heart.
• 24:53
  Speaker 6: Wait, more than Paradise.
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: You think I'm talking Bachelor like mansion, Like that whole experience.
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: I think because I was a super fan of the
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: show that arriving to the mansion and being in a
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: spot that I saw on TV for so many years
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: was the coolest thing. That was one of the very
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: main characters.
• 25:15
  Speaker 1: To me, I agree. I'm fully with you, so I
• 25:18
  Speaker 1: hope you had fun listening as well. Until next time,
